about allis
I am a nonbinary Taiwanese-American artist based in Portland, Oregon.
My work is an expression of the beauty and impermanence observed within cycles of human connection and how nature is a perpetual extension of our relational ecosystems.
The creation process is an essential vessel to explore my experiences within a safe space, allowing me to transmute and reclaim my voice and truth. My art is a multidisciplinary experiment into uncovering answers of our shared existence on both a personal and universal frequency.
